The Ravens extended their NFL-record preseason winning streak to 21 games on Thursday night, and while any preseason record may seem silly, the players who played in the game were taking it seriously.

Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley, who started the game and completed 16 of 18 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown, said afterward that it’s all part of the team culture.

It means a lot to the culture, just to show that we’re a winning team,” Huntley said. “And we don’t care what kind of game it is, the Ravens are going to fight to get a win.”

Obviously, the Ravens aren’t going to do anything foolish, like risk injuries to their starters, to win preseason games. But the coaching staff has clearly instilled a belief in the players that everything matters. Even the preseason.

  1. Well you can’t win in the playoffs so May as well enjoy all the other ones l.

  2. Since these games are usually played, by all trams, mostly by fringe players trying to make the team, seems obvious that the players will want to win to improve their chances. Don’t think I would want a player who didn’t care enough to show his best when he knew it was important for his career.

  3. 1-3 in the playoffs during the current 7 year streak.
    But sure, winning culture…

  4. Tyler the Ravens really don’t have a civilized culture but nice try. No one is impressed with a preseason win streak. It just means the Ravens will play their ones against the other teams threes if they are behind….it’s the Harbaugh way.

  5. Week 2 will be bad for Baltimore. Really, really bad.

    Last years game against Miami was just a small preview of what will happen this time around.

  6. Seems if the Ravens were so bad that no one would care.
    Lots of hate = the Ravens must be doing something right.

  7. “It just means the Ravens will play their ones against the other teams threes if they are behind….it’s the Harbaugh way.”

    This has literally never happened

  8. Just means their reserves are playing better than the other teams. Based on the number of injuries last year and their record, I think it shows.
